Decibels Film Festival: 40 Years of F**kin' Up

Decibels Film Festival opens with *40 Years of F**kin’ Up*, a candid documentary about NOFX, the infamous and beloved punk band. Framed as a real-life version of *This Is Spinal Tap*, the film follows how a group of untalented, drug-addled teenage punks became one of the most successful independent bands in history through their own chaotic, unconventional efforts.

The film includes extensive personal and behind-the-scenes material, including stories and footage involving drug use, extreme behavior, and the band’s notoriously unruly lifestyle. It is presented as the Decibels Film Festival’s opening-night film.
